Lonely Island announces Chicago concert

April 30, 2013|By Adam Lukach, @lucheezy | RedEye

Between leaving "Saturday Night Live" (Andy Samberg), coming on "Girls" (Jorma Taccone), and whatever else Akiva Shaffer does (Akiva Shaffer), the Lonely Island dudes have stayed steady pursuing other ventures recently. This summer, though, they'll release their third album, "The Wack Album," and will come to Chicago on July 15 for a special show in its anticipation. It's the first time (!) that they'll perform in the city.

"We're decidedly pumped to share another collection of our fake raps with the world," said the group in a press release. "We've heard the whole thing and there's no denying, it exists. Thank you."

No, thank you guys. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday and can be purchased at etix.com or via phone.
